"better switches that aren't going to start double clicking like 100% of logitech's do. ... you're not going to have to scrap it in 6 months to 2 years or solder in new switches or RMA it due to the switches."

"best 140$ ever spent"
"Kinda basic but for me it doesn’t get better than this ... it’s really good actually ... I tested many other mice and none compared to this"
Disliked most:
1. WLMouse Beast X Max 2. GPX. Wanted the shape of the GPX but lighter. Originally had viper v3 pro, NP-01S, Lamzu Maya, OP1we, EC3-CW but sold all of those and returned to the GPX which was my main at the time. 3. Premium feel and shape. Don’t like how sometimes the cursor lags, might be a QC issue.
My personal favourite is the wl beast x. I’ve sworn leigance to it. Don’t think I’ll ever change it now.
I am a personal advocate for the WL Mouse Beast X. I have tried their normal and mini versions but since you have big hands try the Max edition.
I’ve been using my beast x from wl mouse since release and it’s been amazing. Yeah the battery’s not great but it’s a first iteration product and I run 500hz and it lasts a good week and only takes less than an hour to fully charge. No issues since. I’ve only upgraded now to the newer versions because i just wanted more battery lol and hoping it’ll keep going on for years.
Tried 15+ mouse.. wlmouse beast max is for me all day long, all other has dust now
Look into WLMouse Beast X lineup. It’s basically one of the few Finalmouse competitors rn. I have large hands and the pro is great for any grip style. If u want smaller then the mini, larger then max. It’s a magnesium mouse with 8k polling and capable of 70G while only weighing about 34grams on the mini and 39 for pro, max is about 42
It’s a smaller much lighter mouse. Scyrox V8. Has a higher rear hump that tapers off towards the front like an XM2 just doesn’t have the crazy rear width. WLmouse Beast X 8K Max (or the pro or mini depending on hand size) could also be an endgame mouse for you but it’s expensive (def worth it).
Im not gonna lie i love me a good cheap mouse. I like to try lots of different types also. I don’t think the amount you spend really means a whole lot anymore. I got a WLmouse beast max and it failed 2 times in 2 months. (the pcb is faulty both times) and my other 2 cheap clones are both amazing always

Stick to 1K/2K for better battery. **Q**: Best grip style? **A**: Claw (18+cm hands) or fingertip (even larger hands), can even palm if that is what you prefer, so it is versatile. Let me know your thoughts if you've tried this mouse! Any questions welcome. *Disclaimer: Contains affiliate discount code (helps support my reviews)*, However; I have purchased this mouse with my own money.
I mean hypothetically if you can get a good QC ULX I would purchase that, but that’s unlikely so I would probably just pick the Beast X Max with solid sides.
Mine do feel a tad heavy, I also press the buttons futher back making them feel even heavier. I don't hate it just wished it felt a bit lighter. As for which version mine came with I have no clue.
Yeah for this reason I can't really recommend Finalmouse to the general consumer, when WLmouse have the exact same shape with better QC and just a few grams heavier. A few years ago Finalmouse were the innovators pushing the boundary on weight these days they're like the supreme of gaming mice.
Picking a mouse is IMO very much personal taste, it depends a lot on how you grip the mouse, how big your hands are, etc etc, hard to make blanket recommendations. Generally the ones that are most often recommended/used are the Logitech Superlight V1/V2 and the Razer Viper V3 Pro, but I personally tried around 12 different mice and settled on the WLMouse BeastX Max, so it’ll vary for everyone. If you have Amazon Prime I would recommend just ordering a bunch and returning the ones you don’t like
all of them are either bad or mediocre with the only exception being the beast x
all of these mice are flawed in atleast a single aspect, with most of them being flawed in more aspects than one, with beastx being the only exception
We’re kinda similar here. After a long research and got WLmouse Beast X Max. I’m pretty happy with it, you should check it out.
I have similar sized hands, slightly bigger and the beast x mini feels great for fingertip but I couldn't use it with any other grip. The med size I can still fingertip and can start to use different claw grips. The max is definitely easier to claw and use a few different grips. What grip do you use? It's all based off that.
